Customer Portal FAQs

If you can’t find the answers you need please get in touch with our team.

Who is the MainPower Customer Portal for?

The MainPower Customer Portal has been developed to support customers who process high numbers of applications. It allows customers to keep track of all of their applications in one place and check on progress.

Note: the list of applications can be sorted by clicking on the column name you’d like to sort on, for instance most recent applications first. You can also use the “Search” to find a specific application, using the reference number or the application address for example.

What are the benefits of applying via the portal rather than the MainPower website?

The Portal pre-populates your account information to save you time when submitting applications. The Portal also allows you to view and track all of your applications in one location, providing detail on the current status and who is responsible for that stage of the application, including estimated timeframes.

How can I register/get access to the MainPower Customer Portal?

You can get access if you submit a high numbers of applications per year. Please email NSR@mainpower.co.nz and request to be added to the MainPower Customer Portal. They will review your request and let you know if any further information is required.

How can I reset my password?

Please click the ‘forgot password’ link on the login page, you will be sent an email to reset your password.

Note that even if you edit your email address, this won’t change the username for login into the portal (in the Login page).
